[PATCH 0/2] Add support for the ERAPS feature

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Amit Shah <amit.shah@xxxxxxx>

Newer AMD CPUs (Turin+) have the ERAPS feature bit that allows us to remove
the RSB filling loops required during context switches and VM exits.

This patchset implements the feature to:
* remove the need for RSB filling on context switches and VMEXITs in host and
  guests
* allow KVM guests to use the full default RSB stack

Amit Shah (2):
  x86: cpu/bugs: add support for AMD ERAPS feature
  x86: kvm: svm: add support for ERAPS and FLUSH_RAP_ON_VMRUN
